[Intro] Yeah Whole crew outside Alley cats Meow [Chorus] Alley cat crew, moving four paws deep Night shift rolling while the whole block sleep Fence-line kings, rooftop view If you hear one meow, that's the alley cat crew Alley cat crew, every stripe, every shade No fancy throne, still we got it made From the old back steps to the avenue Whole neighborhood knows the alley cat crew [Verse 1] One on the dumpster, one by the gate One on lookout saying everybody wait Moon over brick, cool air in the lane Soft little footsteps tapping out the refrain We know every porch with a friendly light Every warm vent on a colder night Every cardboard box with the perfect fit Crew stays sharp and we never quit [Chorus] Alley cat crew, moving four paws deep Night shift rolling while the whole block sleep Fence-line kings, rooftop view If you hear one meow, that's the alley cat crew Alley cat crew, every stripe, every shade No fancy throne, still we got it made From the old back steps to the avenue Whole neighborhood knows the alley cat crew [Verse 2] Gray cat fast, orange cat bold Black cat quiet with the eyes like gold Tuxedo clean with a step so smooth Every cat different but we share one groove Birds start singing, sky turns blue Time to break formation, crew by crew Some head home, some find a chair Same time tomorrow, we meet right there [Bridge] No badge, no boss, no schedule to keep Just whiskers, instinct, and a rhythm in the street When the city gets quiet and the night feels new You might catch a glimpse of the alley cat crew [Final Chorus] Alley cat crew, moving four paws deep Night shift rolling while the whole block sleep Fence-line kings, rooftop view If you hear one meow, that's the alley cat crew Alley cat crew, every stripe, every shade No fancy throne, still we got it made From the old back steps to the avenue Whole neighborhood knows the alley cat crew [Outro] Crew out Meow
